Here’s a rewritten version of the text in fluent, natural English while preserving the original meaning:
—
“Don’t ever change anything about yourself. You’re so beautiful just the way you are.” I found that interesting because people often say I look a lot like her when she was younger. She’ll tell me, “In that picture, you look just like me when I was your age.” Does she regret all her surgeries? “No. I’ve seen photos of her before [the procedures], and I’ve said, ‘You looked so beautiful back then,’ but she just says, ‘No!’ She doesn’t see it. So I don’t think she regrets it.”
In her show, Andre mentions wishing her childhood had been happier but doesn’t go into detail. When I ask her to explain further, she instead focuses on the good memories—holidays, horseback riding, fun times with her siblings. It’s clear she wants to share enough for reality TV without sacrificing her privacy.
I press again about the unhappiness. “Oh!” she says. Giddings prompts her: “You talk about South Africa in the show.”
“Yeah, we were hijacked there when I was 10, and Junior was 12. It was terrifying. We were filming a show with Mum and her best friend.” It sounds horrifying—six armed men surrounded them, and her mother was sexually assaulted. “It’s one of the worst things I’ve ever experienced. In that moment, all you think about is survival. The police said it was a miracle we all made it out alive.”
The trauma still affects her. “I’m scared of the dark and driving at night because that’s when it happened. Sometimes I get random flashbacks. If I’m driving after dark, I just think, ‘Oh my God, get me home.’ I don’t even look behind me.”
There are other painful memories she avoids discussing—her parents’ split, Price’s separation from her third husband (the father of two of Andre’s siblings). She was close to him, but they no longer see each other. Many of Price’s reality shows were filmed at the aptly named “Mucky Mansion,” a nine-bedroom Sussex home. Did Andre like living there? “No. It was a really scary house. A lot happened there, so I didn’t enjoy it.” She leaves it at that. “I guess when you have bad experiences in a place, you just don’t like it.”
A few years ago, Price struggled with severe depression and suicidal thoughts. In 2021, she had a serious car crash while under the influence. By then, Andre and Junior had been living full-time with their father for three years. “There was a time when we had to stay with Dad,” she says, referencing a 2019 family court order recently made public by her father. (Price’s spokesperson responded that she was “at peace with the situation.”)
Andre says Price is doing much better now—she moves between their homes depending on her mood. “Dad’s house is quieter, more peaceful, more organized. Mum’s is more ‘do whatever you want.’” Does she prefer structure or chaos? “I like both. If I want busy energy, I’ll go to Mum’s. If I want calm, I’ll stay at Dad’s.”
Has her father been a stabilizing force? She glances nervously at Giddings. “This is going to sound really bad, isn’t it? Like I’m saying Mum’s a mess and Dad’s the stable one.” It’s touching how protective she is of Price. She turns back to me. “Right now, Mum is completely different—she’s in a great place.”

This version keeps the original meaning while improving flow, clarity, and readability. Let me know if you’d like any further refinements!She’s completely different now compared to four years ago. When talking about the past, yes, my dad was more stable while Mum has always been more wild than him—not crazy,” she quickly corrects, “just… out there!” Andre adds, “If you saw her now, she’s changed so much.”
She’s pictured with Junior and her father at the Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning premiere in London last May.
Andre speaks fondly of her close bond with all seven siblings, especially Theo and Millie, the eldest of Peter and MacDonagh’s children, who she says are natural entertainers. When asked what she’s learned from growing up with Harvey—Katie Price’s eldest child, who is severely disabled and a reality star himself—her face brightens. “Absolutely, 100%. You learn patience, different ways to communicate, how to handle his outbursts, how to calm him down. And as much as he can be challenging, he’s also the funniest person I know.” Does he still love trains? “Oh yes—trains, frogs, rainbows, and food.”
Giddings jokes, “Well, at least you’ve got food in common.”
Recent tabloid stories claim Price is upset with Andre. Andre acknowledges there’s often a grain of truth in these reports, but never the full picture. Take the reality show—while Price wasn’t filmed for it, viewers still hear warm phone conversations between mother and daughter. “There were articles saying, ‘Princess doesn’t want her mum in the show,’ but that wasn’t true. There was no big decision—it’s just that I’m living with Dad right now, so he featured more.” She also points out that her management team is the same as her father’s. “I never said I didn’t want her involved,” she insists.
As for the idea of Price and Peter Andre appearing together? “That was never going to happen—they don’t like each other,” she says plainly. This leads to “Birthdaygate”—the reports that Price wasn’t invited to Andre’s birthday celebration with her father’s family. “It would’ve been weird for them both to be there—that’s never been how we’ve done things since they split. I usually split my birthday between them. The media just loves to stir things up.”
Giddings interjects, “Except this time, it wasn’t the media—your mum was the one who put that story out.”
Andre hesitates, then says diplomatically, “Yeah… which is… interesting.”
Giddings adds, “Kate was the one who claimed she and her family weren’t invited.”
When I suggest she just call her mum and ask what’s going on, Andre shrugs it off. “It’s not worth it. Mum might be annoyed one minute, but we’ll message and be fine the next.”
“Blimey,” I say, “having parents isn’t easy, is it?”
“No,” she laughs. “Especially divorced ones.”
Andre hopes her reality show will launch a successful business career. She knows the challenges ahead: “No matter what I do, I’ll always be compared to my mum. That’s just how it is.” Now, it’s up to her to decide whether that connection is a blessing or a burden.
